Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sheet metal processing equipment technology, and specifically to an automatic folding partition fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Some products are made by bending partitions. During mass production, due to the differences in the materials used for the partitions, it is difficult to control the amount of deformation and the shape of the bending point.

[0003] In existing technologies, partitions are generally bent manually, which makes it difficult to control the consistency of the bending dimensions and leads to low production efficiency.

[0004] Existing technology discloses a bending machine that uses an upper die, a lower die, a left die, and a right die to bend a plate into a tubular shape. However, this method requires additional equipment to shape the resulting tube, leading to a long processing time. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Furthermore, the support mechanism includes two support bodies located on the other two sides of the vehicle, excluding the two folding plates.

[0010] In some embodiments, the contoured groove has a second opening, through which the support can extend into and retract from the contoured groove.

[0011] Optionally, the support mechanism includes: a support cylinder having a retractable support piston rod; the support body includes: a support longitudinal plate and a support transverse plate, the support longitudinal plate being connected to the support piston rod, the support transverse plate extending from one side of the support longitudinal plate in a direction parallel to the first opening, and the surface of the support transverse plate away from the support longitudinal plate forming the two support surfaces.

[0016] Optionally, the pressing mechanism includes: a pressing cylinder, the pressing cylinder having a retractable pressing piston rod, and the pressing plate being connected to the pressing piston rod.

[0017] Optionally, the pressing mechanism includes two pressing plates located on the other two sides of the carrier, excluding the two folding plates.

[0039] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

Furthermore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0041] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] The following is for reference. Figures 1-6 An automatic partition folding fixture 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0043] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the automatic partition folding fixture 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a carrier 10, a forming mechanism 20, a folding mechanism 30, and a fastening mechanism 40.

[0044] One side of the carrier 10 is a plate-placement side for placing the partition 11. A contour groove 13 is formed inside the carrier 10, and the contour groove 13 has a first opening 131 facing the plate-placement side. The forming mechanism 20 includes a forming body 21 movable relative to the carrier 10. The forming body 21 can extend into the contour groove 13 from the first opening 131 to press part of the partition 11 against the inner wall of the contour groove 13 when it extends in. The folding mechanism 30 includes two folding bodies 31 located on the plate-placement side of the carrier 10. The two folding bodies 31 can move towards the first opening 131 from opposite sides to bend and stack the two sides of the partition 11 that are outside the first opening 131. The fastening mechanism 40 includes a fastening body 41 movable relative to the carrier 10. The fastening body 41 can be pressed towards the first opening 131 to deform and fasten the two sides of the stacked partition 11.

[0045] It should be noted that the opening direction of the first opening 131 is not specifically restricted here; it can be selected according to the required direction during the actual folding operation. For example... Figure 1As shown, the carrier 10 may have a first opening 131 at the top, and the upper side of the carrier 10 is its storage side. When the pressing body 21 is pressed down, it can bend the partition 11. In some designs, the first opening 131 may be located on the horizontal side of the carrier 10 (the first opening 131 is located on the left or right side of the carrier 10), and the pressing body 21 impacts and bends the partition 11 in the horizontal direction. The pressing direction of the pressing body 21, the bending direction of the subsequent bending plate body 31, and the stamping direction of the fastener body 41 are all adapted to the opening direction of the first opening 131. To reduce redundancy, the following explanation takes the upper part of the carrier 10 as the storage side as an example. The first opening 131 opens upward, the pressing direction is downward, the bending direction can be horizontal or at a certain angle to the horizontal direction, and the stamping direction is also downward. When the opening direction of the first opening 131 changes, the pressing direction, bending direction, and stamping direction can all be deduced without question from the following explanation.

[0046] The automatic partition folding fixture 100 of this application, by setting up a carrier 10, a forming mechanism 20, a folding mechanism 30, and a fastening mechanism 40, sequentially completes the actions of placing, forming, bending, and fastening the partition 11, and can fold the partition 11 into a tube or cylinder, and then fix it. The following describes... Figures 1-5 The example shown describes the working process of the automatic partition folding fixture 100:

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, when the automatic partition folding fixture 100 is placed, the partition 11 is positioned above the carrier 10, with the partition 11 directly opposite the first opening 131. Figure 1 After the partition 11 is placed above the vehicle 10, the partition 11 may not need to be positioned, but in some designs the partition 11 can also be positioned by a positioning mechanism.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during the forming action, the forming mechanism 20 drives the forming body 21 downwards toward the contour groove 13. The forming body 21 presses into the first opening 131, pressing a portion of the partition 11 into the contour groove 13. When the forming body 21 squeezes a portion of the partition 11 against the inner wall of the contour groove 13, the partition 11 completes its initial forming. The shape of the squeezed portion of the partition 11 conforms to the shape of the inner wall of the contour groove 13. (Refer to...) Figure 3 As can be seen in this example, after the pressing body 21 completes the pressing, the pressing body 21 exits the contour groove 13. However, in other solutions, the pressing body 21 remains in the contour groove 13 after the pressing is completed. The pressing body 21 can exit the contour groove 13 after the folding plate is folded or after the fastening is completed.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, after the pressing is completed, the folding mechanism 30 drives the folding plate body 31 to move, bending the portions of both sides of the partition 11 that remain outside the first opening 131, so that the two portions can be stacked after bending. It should be noted that the two folding plate bodies 31 of the folding mechanism 30 can fold simultaneously or sequentially, as long as there is overlap between the two sides of the partition 11 after folding. The corresponding folding plate body 31 can be reset directly after each folding, or the two folding plate bodies 31 can be reset after both sides of the partition 11 have been folded. In some designs, one or two folding plate bodies 31 can be reset after the fastening is completed, as long as it does not interfere with the subsequent fastening action.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, after the two sides of the partition 11 are bent and stacked, the fastening mechanism 40 drives the fastening body 41 to press towards the first opening 131 and press on the two sides of the stacked partition 11, causing the stacked parts of the partition 11 to deform and fasten together. In this way, the stacked parts of the two sides of the partition 11 are connected by being bent and stacked due to the stamping deformation, which makes the product made of the partition 11 more stable and less likely to fall apart and deform.

[0051] Thus, after the partition 11 is inserted, shaped, folded and fastened, the resulting product is a tube or cylinder.

[0052] According to the automatic partition folding fixture 100 of this invention, the partition 11 to be bent is placed on the plate side of the carrier 10. The two sides of the partition 11 are bent and stacked sequentially by the pressing mechanism 20 and the folding mechanism 30. Then, the stacked parts of the partition 11 are snapped together by the stamping of the fastening mechanism 40, thereby completing the automatic folding and shaping operations. Furthermore, through the design of the contour groove 13 on the carrier 10, combined with the design of the pressing body 21 and the two folding bodies 31, the product size and shape can remain consistent during mass production. This automatic partition folding fixture 100 has high processing efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic folding plate fixture 100 includes an operating table 80, a carrier 10 and a folding plate mechanism 30, all of which are mounted on the operating table 80. The operating table 80 is the basic structure for the overall installation and positioning of the automatic folding plate fixture 100.

[0054] Specifically, the shape of the carrier 10 can be set according to the shape of the contouring groove 13, and the shape of the contouring groove 13 can be set according to the required shape of the product. For example, if the product is a square tube, the contouring groove 13 is a rectangular groove, and the carrier 10 is a cuboid. Another example is that if the product is a tube with a semi-circular cross-section, the longitudinal cross-section of the contouring groove 12 is semi-circular, and the longitudinal cross-section of the carrier 10 is also semi-circular. Yet another example is that the longitudinal cross-section of the contouring groove 12 is triangular or trapezoidal, etc.

[0055] In some specific embodiments, the contour groove 13 is a rectangular groove, and the forming body 21 is a rectangular plate. Thus, the partition 11 can be bent into a square tube. The dimension of the forming body 21 in the forming direction is its thickness, and the dimension of the contour groove 13 in the forming direction is its depth. The thickness of the forming body 21 is much smaller than the depth of the contour groove 13, thus saving on the amount of material used in the forming body 21.

[0056] Optionally, the carrier 10 can be replaced on the automatic folding plate fixture 100. By replacing different carriers 10, different contour grooves 13 can be obtained, enabling bending processing of products of various specifications.

[0057] like Figures 2-3 As shown, in some embodiments, the forming body 21 can retract from the contour groove 13. The automatic partition folding fixture 100 further includes a support mechanism 50, which includes at least one support body 51 movable into the contour groove 13. The support body 51 has a supporting surface 511 and supporting surfaces 512. The supporting surface 511 is disposed corresponding to the bottom surface of the contour groove 13, and the supporting surfaces 512 are used to support the two sides of the partition 11 when the folding body 31 and the fastening body 41 are in motion.

[0058] It should be noted that the bottom surface of the contour groove 13 refers to the surface of the contour groove 13 directly opposite the first opening 131. By providing a supporting surface 511 to support the partition 11, the partition 11 is less likely to slip out of the contour groove 13 when it is folded. By providing two supporting surfaces 512 to support the two sides of the partition 11, the amount of deformation and the shape of the deformed parts of the two sides of the partition 11 can be better controlled during folding and fastening.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the support mechanism 50 includes two support bodies 51, which are located on the other two sides of the carrier 10, excluding the two folding plates 31. This increases the support effect of the support mechanism 50, making the shape of the partition 11 more regular when bent and stacked, thereby increasing the yield rate.

[0060] exist Figure 1For example, folding plates 31 are provided on the left and right sides of the carrier 10, and two supports 51 can be placed on the front and rear sides of the carrier 10 respectively. The folding plates 31 can fold the partition 11 into a tube or cylinder, which is open at both ends. It can be seen that when the two supports 51 are placed on the other two sides of the carrier 10 besides the two folding plates 31, the supports 51 can move in a straight line when moving to and away from the partition 11, resulting in a short movement path and high processing efficiency.

[0061] In some designs, the support mechanism 50 includes a support body 51, which can be set to the same length as the product tube.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the contour groove 13 has a second opening 132, through which the support body 51 can extend into and retract from the contour groove 13. In other words, the support mechanism 50 is located outside the carrier 10. When support is needed, the support mechanism 50 drives the support body 51 to extend into the contour groove 13; when support is not needed, it drives the support body 51 to retract from the contour groove 13. This way, the carrier 10 does not need to be too large, and the carrier 10 and the support mechanism 50 can be assembled separately with minimal interference, making subsequent cleaning and maintenance easier. Especially when the carrier 10 is replaced, the support mechanism 50 has minimal impact on it.

[0063] Specifically, a second opening 132 can be provided on the side of the contour groove 13 that does not contact the partition 11. One or two second openings 132 can be provided as needed. Figure 1 In the example, two supports 51 are located on the front and rear sides of the carrier 10, and the carrier 10 has second openings 132 at both the front and rear ends.

[0064] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the support mechanism 50 includes a support cylinder 52, which has a telescopic support piston rod 521. The support piston rod 521 is connected to the support body 51 to drive the support body 51 to move. Using the support cylinder 52 for driving is not only simple in structure and easy to install and maintain, but also has a large output force and strong adaptability, making it suitable for various production environments.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the support body 51 includes a longitudinal support plate 513 and a transverse support plate 514. The longitudinal support plate 513 is connected to the support piston rod 521. The transverse support plate 514 extends from one side of the longitudinal support plate 513 in a direction parallel to the first opening 131. The surface of the transverse support plate 514 away from the longitudinal support plate 513 forms the two support surfaces 512. The longitudinal support plate 513 is conveniently connected to the support piston rod 521, and the transverse support plate 514 ensures that the area of ​​the two support surfaces 512 is large enough, thereby making the shape of the partition 11 more regular and increasing the yield rate.

[0066] Furthermore, the support plate 514 slides against the cylinder body of the support cylinder 52. In other words, the cylinder body of the support cylinder 52 provides support and guidance for the support plate 514, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the support body 51. Moreover, when the partition 11 is bent by the folding plate 31 or stamped by the fastening body 41, the support plate 514 experiences less swaying under the support of the cylinder body of the support cylinder 52, which helps to further improve the product yield.

[0067] Optionally, the support plate 514 and the cylinder body of the support cylinder 52 are connected by a guide rail-slider. This makes the sliding of the support plate 514 on the support cylinder 52 more stable, so as to ensure that the movement trajectory of the support body 51 is the same each time.

[0068] In other embodiments, the support cylinder 52 can also be replaced by a linear motor or an electric actuator.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the folding plate mechanism 30 includes a folding plate cylinder 32, which has a telescopic folding plate piston rod 321, and the folding plate body 31 is connected to the folding plate piston rod 321. Using the folding plate cylinder 32 to drive the folding plate body 31 not only results in a simple structure and easy installation and maintenance, but also provides high output force and strong adaptability, making it suitable for various production environments.

[0070] Specifically, the folding plate piston rod 321 moves in a straight line, with a short movement path and high folding plate efficiency.

[0071] Optionally, the folding plate body 31 is detachably connected to the folding plate cylinder 32. The folding plate body 31 can be replaced according to actual production needs. The folding plate body 31 has various specifications in the width direction of the support mechanism 50, and can be bent for partitions 11 of different specifications. The folding plate body 31 can be replaced when needed.

[0072] Optionally, the folding plate 31 is flat and slides against the cylinder body of the folding plate cylinder 32. The cylinder body of the folding plate cylinder 32 supports and guides the movement of the folding plate 31. This makes the movement of the folding plate 31 more stable and ensures that the movement trajectory of the folding plate 31 is the same each time it bends the partition 11, thereby ensuring the consistency of bending and stacking of the partition 11 and increasing the yield rate.

[0073] Optionally, the folding plate body 31 and the folding plate cylinder 32 are connected by a guide rail and a slider. This makes the sliding of the folding plate body 31 on the folding plate cylinder 32 more stable, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the folding plate body 31 is the same each time.

[0074] In other embodiments, the folding cylinder 32 can also be replaced by a linear motor or an electric actuator.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the automatic partition folding fixture 100 further includes a pressing mechanism 60, which includes a movable pressing plate 61. The pressing plate 61 is used to press against the stacked sides of the partition 11 before the fastening body 41 is stamped. This allows the stacked sides of the partition 11 to be pressed and fixed before the fastening body 41 is stamped, reducing the likelihood of the partition 11 warping and deforming during the stamping process.

[0076] In some embodiments, the automatic partition folding fixture 100 further includes a support mechanism 50 and a pressing mechanism 60. The support body 51 of the support mechanism 50 and the pressing plate 61 of the pressing mechanism 60 can be clamped on both sides of the stacked portion of the partition 11, so that the edge of the partition 11 can be clamped before stamping and fastening.

[0077] Optionally, the pressing mechanism 60 includes two pressing plates 61, which are located on the other two sides of the carrier 10, excluding the two folded plates 31. This allows the tube or cylinder folded from the partition 11 to be pressed tightly at both ends at the overlapping point, resulting in minimal deformation at both ends during stamping and fastening.

[0078] Here, the two pressure plates 61 are placed on the other two sides of the carrier 10, excluding the two folded plate bodies 31. When the pressure plates 61 are moved to the partition 11 and away from the partition 11, the interference between them and the partition 11 and the folded plate body 31 is minimal. For example, when the unfolded partition 11 is placed on the plate side of the carrier 10, the pressure plates 61 will not interfere. When the folded plate body 31 is folded, it will not interfere with the pressure plates 61.

[0079] like Figure 5As shown, optionally, the pressing mechanism 60 includes: a pressing cylinder 62, the pressing cylinder 62 having a telescopic pressing piston rod 621, and a pressing plate 61 connected to the pressing piston rod 621. Using the pressing cylinder 62 to drive the pressing plate 61 to move is not only simple in structure and easy to install and maintain, but also has a large output force and strong adaptability, and can adapt to various production environments.

[0080] In other embodiments, the pressure cylinder 62 can also be replaced by a linear motor or an electric actuator.

[0081] When the pressure cylinder 62 drives the pressing plate 61 to move, the pressing plate 61 moves in a straight line. In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism 60 can drive the pressing plate 61 to rotate. For example, the pressure mechanism 60 includes a motor, which is connected to the pressing plate 61 through a reducer.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the fastening body 41 includes a plurality of spaced-apart fastening stamping blocks 42. This concentrates the impact force of the fastening body 41 on the partition 11 at the stamping blocks 42, which have a relatively small area, allowing the partition 11 to deform quickly at the pressed area. By arranging the fastening stamping blocks 42 in a spaced-apart configuration, the deformed areas on the partition 11 are spaced apart, and the fastening structures on the partition 11 are dispersed, improving the reliability of the fastening connection.

[0083] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In some embodiments, there is only one snap-fit ​​stamping block 42, which can form a snap-fit ​​structure at the overlapping parts on both sides of the partition 11. In other embodiments, after the snap-fit ​​stamping block 42 completes the stamping on the partition 11 to form a snap-fit ​​structure, the snap-fit ​​body 41 or the partition 11 can be moved so that the snap-fit ​​stamping block 42 can be stamped and snapped at another part of the partition 11.

[0084] In some embodiments, the automatic partition folding fixture 100 further includes a conversion beam 70, on which the forming mechanism 20 and the fastening mechanism 40 are slidably fitted. By providing the conversion beam 70, the automatic partition folding fixture 100 can easily switch between the forming mechanism 20 and the fastening mechanism 40, allowing for more orderly switching and reducing the likelihood of collisions. Furthermore, the conversion beam 70 allows the automatic partition folding fixture 100 to be mounted onto other equipment when needed.

[0085] Specifically, sliders can be respectively provided on the forming mechanism 20 and the fastening mechanism 40, and the sliders are engaged on the conversion beam 70, so that the two can move directly along the conversion beam 70 respectively, and the movement is more stable.

[0086] Of course, the proposed solution is not limited to this. For example, the forming mechanism 20 and the fastening mechanism 40 can be mounted on a robotic arm, which can then switch between them. Optionally, the automatic partition folding fixture 100 also includes two robotic arms, with the forming mechanism 20 and the fastening mechanism 40 mounted on each arm respectively. In some solutions, the forming mechanism 20 and the fastening mechanism 40 are mounted on the same robotic arm, which also allows for switching.

[0087] The following is based on Figure 1 , Figure 6 The diagram illustrates the specific structure of one embodiment of the present invention.

[0088] The automatic partition folding fixture 100 includes: a carrier 10, a forming mechanism 20, a folding mechanism 30, a fastening mechanism 40, a support mechanism 50, a pressing mechanism 60, and a conversion beam 70. The forming mechanism 20 and the fastening mechanism 40 are slidably fitted on the conversion beam 70.

[0089] The upper part of the carrier 10 is a plate side for placing the partition 11. A contour groove 13 is formed inside the carrier 10. The contour groove 13 opens upward to form a first opening 131. The front and rear ends of the contour groove 13 are open to form a second opening 132 respectively.

[0090] The conversion beam 70 is arranged in the left-right direction, and the forming mechanism 20 can move left and right along the conversion beam 70.
